Gransnet cafe

Welcome to the *Gransnet Café. This is a non-judgemental space for you to pop in for a cuppa with some virtual friends, seek out advice for a particular problem, or share an update on your life - important or trivial. Feel free to have your say and chat about your day, but please leave any arguments at the door. If you're struggling to find someone to talk to in real life, or are simply looking for a bit of a chat, this is the place for you.

Any new joiners? smile If you've recently signed up to Gransnet or have been around a while but haven't got round to posting anything yet, please pop over to Welcome to Gransnet to introduce yourself and have a virtual cup of cafe or wine.

Welcome Betty65, Maybelater2020, Grangmamial and*rayhansen60*, I'm a newbie too - joined 9 days ago. Nice to meet you all, maybe we'll bump into each other again soon.

Great to see regular posters welcoming our new users! GrandmaMia1, Charleygirl5 is absolutely right, please do feel free to start a new thread in our meet up section:

GrandmaMia1 welcome. I doubt if you will get a reply because it is not really the correct thread. If you start your own thread stating "Anybody fancy a meet up in North Devon for coffee" and see what happens. Scroll down the threads because I am almost sure there is a meetup in that area soon. Good luck.

Thank you Charlie girl . Cold and wet here too so nice to stay in the warmth

GrandmaMia1 Mon 09-Mar-20 16:59:56

Not really posted on here before, feeling a little lost . Anyone in N. Devon fancy meeting up for coffee and chat?

Charleygirl5 Mon 09-Mar-20 12:50:08

Welcome Betty65 and Maybelater2020. It is cold outside- I prefer a nice place like this in which to snugle down.

Hi, I have just rejoined after a social media break of about 2 years. I must confess to progressively lurking on this site and recently thought just rejoin then I can make comments instead of laughing, applauding or muttering to myself. Looking forward to getting to know other members , although I feel I know some of you already.

Hi, I found a blog where real people were having problems with their elderly demanding parent too. Makes me feel like I’m not being unreasonable in my excessive moanings

BlueBelle Sun 08-Mar-20 15:22:06

And welcome from me too southgan I hope you enjoy your time on a Gransnet

Marydoll Sun 08-Mar-20 13:04:03

Southgan, a warm welcome from me too.

It's quite disconcerting, isn't Charleygirl ?

Charleygirl5 Sun 08-Mar-20 11:41:38

Welcome Southgan I ma getting my head around the fact that this site is working again.

Southgan Sun 08-Mar-20 10:22:59

Hi I’ve literally just joined. I found it whilst googling grandparents and Coronavirus (don’t worry I’m really not obsessed with it and haven’t stockpiled any loo rolls!). We moved area to look after our 3 grandchildren all under 4 and whilst it’s great I do miss having friends nearby. So maybe this site will help ?

Charleygirl5 Fri 06-Mar-20 11:05:32

Welcome Almaz I spend more time on here than I care to admit!

BlueBelle Fri 06-Mar-20 11:02:56

Welcome from me too Almaz I hope you enjoy finding your way around the site and find some interesting threads to join in with us

CherryCezzy Thu 05-Mar-20 18:29:21

Hello Almaz65. Welcome to Gransnet.

Almaz65 Thu 05-Mar-20 18:20:42

Hi, I am a newbie too, I've got 5 grandkids and I'm looking forward to reading all the threads as I seem to have a lot of spare time these days and I'm looking for ways to fill it!

CherryCezzy Wed 04-Mar-20 22:18:57

This is what I was trying to alert people's attention to yesterday Charleygirl and it was the impetus that finally led to me joining.

Mapleleaf Wed 04-Mar-20 21:45:14

Yes, welcome to all newbies. A lot of us have had problems accessing the cafe, but all seems to be back in order now ?.

Charleygirl5 Wed 04-Mar-20 21:34:53

OMG if I had not seen your name Marydoll I would have given this thread the usual runabout but I could not believe seeing your name and also being able to join in.

Welcome all who have newly joined- it must be around three weeks since I was able to access this site.

Marydoll Wed 04-Mar-20 19:30:47

I'm in. Yippee!!!
Thanks for the heads up, Bluebelle.
Hope you had a lovely birthday.?
